Lust, Caution
Went to catch the show finally with Miss Ene, PR, L and Ron. Must say that when the show first came out it was on my "must watch" list (Reason: Lee Hom, of course!). As usual, procrastination set in, and it slowly faded from my consciousness. Out of the blue, received a message from Miss Ene about the show, and the next thing I knew, I was at the cinema.
Although I spent most of the show fiddling around with my phone, I'm still glad I caught it. I've finally realised that I really am not good at "watching" movies at the cinema, I fidget, I get bored, and I'm just itching to get out of my seat no matter how good the show is. It's often the company that keeps me rooted.
I left the cinema with a question in my head that's still unanswered: "Is that Love?" I never had any difficulty understanding why Tang Wei's character "chose" to save Tony Leung's character. After all, this was the guy who could best understand her feeling of loneliness. Thus, my question... is it because they were two lonely souls who could only feel their existence through being with each other?
Can't seem to express myself very well of late... perhaps coz I'm tired, and clouded. Feel a little like Jane Eyre narrating via a third person. Physically present yet detached.

dont think it was because of loneliness that both people fell for each other. narration in the third party is kinda creepy. :P

heh I beg to differ. I think it was the extent of loneliness (not solely in the physical sense) that propels two individuals towards each other. So then the question is, when one becomes lonely in love/a relationship; does that still qualify as love? ;)
I think for them it was the loneliness, and the fact that only they realized how human each other were. To everyone else in the show, one was just a tool in order to gain access, the other was a money shaking tree
